Indigenous Local Employment Fund

The National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) is supporting increased Indigenous employment participation in COVID-19 affected labour markets. The ILEF will support innovative, short-term initiatives that address employment barriers. Projects in regional and remote areas are especially encouraged.

The ILEF grant opportunity supports activities that are innovative, small-scale, one off and tailored to address local employment needs and barriers for Indigenous job seekers that are outside the scope of existing employment programs.

Please see section 3 of the Grant Opportunity Guidelines for eligibility criteria. 

Projects must be completed by 31 December 2022

$6,000,000.00

From $5,000.00 to $250,000.00

By invitation only. Organisations must first contact and discuss their proposal with the NIAA Regional office in the locality where the proposed project will take place. 

Proposals must directly link to employment outcomes for Indigenous job seekers and must not duplicate activities already funded by the Australian Government.
